Susan's new novel, THE ART COLLECTOR, is a plot-twister set in in the 1980s in the Manhattan art world and the Deep South. Released in August 2024, it is a sequel to her debut novel THE HISTORY TEACHER, a compelling political mystery and winner of a 2020 IPPY Award in the best regional fiction category. A graduate of Barnard College with a degree in history, Susan is a former journalist, an author, an award-winning copywriter and a ghostwriter whose credits include an international best seller. She has lived in Delaware, New York City and Washington, DC, all of which serve as settings for her novels. She now lives in Memphis, Tennessee and is particularly proud of the fact that she recorded the audiobook for THE HISTORY TEACHER at Sam Phillips Recording, the birthplace of Rock 'n Roll. Released in early 2024, it is now available on Audible, iTunes and Amazon.
